    ... pockets, pulling out Graham's wallet. Mickey opened it, looked at Graham, then Tammi, before taking a photograph of Graham's Police warrant card. He sent the photograph to Lucas Jones, telling him to make his way to the pub as quickly as possible.
    
    The conversation was simply an interrogation. Why was he here? Why had he cornered Tammi? What did he want? Graham had to think quickly as soon as he saw Mickey. Because of the conversations he had with Matt, he said he was his friend and suspected that it had been no accident. He knew Matt had seen Tammi in the club and was here to ask if she knew if someone was after Matt. He swore blind it was completely unofficial and nothing to do with the Police. If they looked at the warrant card, they would see he was way out of his jurisdiction.
    
    After Lucas received the call from Mickey, he immediately called Mr. Smith and broke the news regarding Graham.

    When the Police arrived, they found the last dregs from a bottle of whisky and a handwritten letter. The letter said he couldn't face the thought of pending retirement and he had kept his depression to himself. He loved his wife and was sorry for the inconvenience he had caused. The letter, whilst in his hand writing, had been written under the influence of the same drug administered to Matt over a year ago. The level of alcohol would easily mask, even the most persistent pathologist, from discovering the truth. When they left the pub, Mickey took a quiet Tammi home. There was something that had really bugged him but, he didn't want to let the cat out the bag, at least not quite yet. Before he walked over to them, he listened to them for a few seconds. Graham had definitely called her Tanya and she didn't correct him. Lucas had brought her out to Dubai the previous year and had supposedly sat next to her randomly on the plane. Lucas definitely had his fingers in several places, gaining information but, was he double dealing?
    
    He had his doubts about that. It was Lucas that unearthed the Government leech that had wormed into the business. He helped Mickey send a message to his own troops and the Government. Lucas suggested rounding ...
